The efficacy and function of short-haired Angelica dahurica

Medicinal effects

The root of the short-haired angelica is a very common Chinese medicinal material. It is very effective in treating some common daily diseases, such as low back and leg pain, rheumatism, headache, cold, etc. It can be directly boiled in water and drunk.

It is also widely distributed and is planted in most parts of China. If you want to collect and process it yourself, you can do so. The best time to collect it is in spring and autumn. Dig out all its roots and try not to leave any wounds on the roots. Then remove large pieces of soil and rinse the soil in the gaps with clean water. Then remove the stems, leaves, whiskers, etc. Finally, cut it into slices, dry it naturally and then store it for later use.

Although no research has shown that it contains toxins, you should still consult your doctor about the specific usage and dosage when using it.

Ornamental effect

Although it is a traditional Chinese medicine, it is also very ornamental during its growth process, especially when it blooms. Each petal is heart-shaped and relatively small, with about 5 to 10 petals making up a flower, and small light green raised dots in the middle. The number of flowers is very large, with hundreds of small flowers blooming on each main stem. With the help of green leaves, the overall look is very elegant. Although it is not the kind of noble and elegant, it expresses the freshness and elegance to the fullest.
